Probably, the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word “school” is a big yellow bus. Still, not everyone is lucky to ride these comfortable vehicles! What about the other countries? Well, plenty of schools all over the world provide school buses for their students as well. Though those buses are not always yellow, but still they are pretty nice.

Unfortunately, in some parts of the world school buses are considered to be luxury items, so obviously students have to get to school on foot or by other means of transport. For instance, some students from Philippines have to cross knee-deep rocky rivers on their way to school. So what are the extreme ways students get to school all over the world?
